Thanks again everybody. As to keeping him, I was just mentally and spatially prepared to hold back 2-3 females and 1 male from the two I bred this year. I don't want to make any commitment to holdbacks until the fire x fire clutch hatches but I am loving this boy. He's got a crazy, busy pattern and nice blushing - all traits I really dig. That neck pattern tying into his face stripe is pretty darn groovy looking too if you ask me! Yup, might just have to make room for him after all.. Here are a couple solo pics of him, looking forward to seeing him post shed.
